Is Hawthorn Bancshares stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Hawthorn Bancshares stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Hawthorn Bancshares's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Hawthorn Bancshares's P/E ratio

Hawthorn Bancshares's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 33x. In other words, Hawthorn Bancshares shares trade at around 33x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

In Hawthorn Bancshares's case, that would currently equate to about $0.72 per share.

Hawthorn Bancshares's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

However, indirectly, the new 3.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hawthorn Bancshares shares which in turn could have impacted Hawthorn Bancshares's share price.
